other similar communications on the
Secretary Root, in speaking of the

that country to deal with the subject
in a more effective way, sald that all
this country could do was to decorous-

The memorial reads as follows:
“Over 4 year has passed since the re
port of the commissioners chosen by
the chief executive and virtual owner
of the Kongo {o investigate conditions
in that state was published. In spite
of thelr natural desire to'give all pos-
sible credit te thelr sovereign the com-
missioners felt coustralned to report
the existence of measures aad prac
tices of flagrant labumanity. Among
these measures and practices are the
following:
“First. ~The exaction of g labor tax so
oppressive that many natives ou whom
it falls have little If any freedom.
“Second.—Appropriastion of land to
such an extent that the natives are
practically prisoners within their own
territory.
“Third ~The employment under the
authority of the government as sen-
tries of cruel. brutish blacks chosen
from hostile tribes, who murder and
pillage the people for whose protection
the government Is avowedly establish-

“Fourth.—The abuse of the natives
by white representatives of officially

“Seventh.—The sending out of punl

establishing peace and order, but fer
the purpose of terrifying the natives
